AB  - Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones are attracting increasing interest in 
      the aviation industry, both for military and civilian applications. The materials 
      used so far in the manufacture of UAVs are wood, plastic, aluminum and carbon 
      fiber. In this regard, a new family of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) 
      nanocomposites reinforced with polymethylsilsesquioxane nanoparticles (PMSQ), 
      with mechanical performances significantly superior to those of pure HPDE, has 
      been prepared by a fusion-combination process. Their viscoelastic properties were 
      determined by oscillatory shear tests and their viscoelastic behavior 
      characterized by the Lodge integral model. Then, the Lagrangian formulation and 
      the membrane theory assumption were used in the explicit implementation of the 
      dynamic finite element formulation. For the forming phase, we considered the 
      thermodynamic approach to express the external work in terms of closed volume. In 
      terms of von Mises stress distribution and thickness in the blade, the results 
      indicate that HDPE-PMSQ behaves like virgin HDPE. Furthermore, its materials, for 
      all intents and purposes, require the same amount of energy to form as HDPE.
